Rushing. Crashing. Ocean fills my ears. I'm stranded out here bobbin' with these others after way too many beers. Our ship started sinking after parted ways and too much thinking. We're all way too salty now and all too soaked to swim to safety. *I've got a notion, friend, to lay some blame drop a few names, retreat again... You are a battleship, your big guns blaze afloat on rage, bristling ardor.       I'll calm you down, so dry me out       or sink me now. We've spent enough       on life.* Coughing. Laughing. Protests fill our ears. It's frigid out here. Walking off these shudders past the closing bars and jeers. Boarded. Started singing all our anthem cries from here to Longstaff. "Land, ** we cry sarcastically. We're still too soaked to swim to safety. *We've got some way to walk, cover some ground. pass a few blocks, we're lost & found. The night had shrunken down, contracted fast. dark purple sky is bristling hoarfrost.      We've warmed us up, so pull me out       or sink me now. We've spent enough       on life.*
